Hi, does anybody have experience with persimmons growing in pots ? How is the fruiting compared to a in ground one, do they produce regularly and an amount of fruit that justifies the effort ? I have tree potted plants which have not fruited yet since are small , but i'm debating if I should plant them in the ground , or continue to raise them in pots. The thing is I do not know the varieties of them, so dont know their cold hardiness . The plants are grafted ,so must be some known varieties. In winter we almost surely have occasions where temps like 5F are present, and sometimes we get to -4 F / rare occasions . Now when they are potted I bring them in an unhited basement for winter.
So my question I as ; should I continue to raise them in pots, which is not a big problem for me if I get a worthwhile ammount of fruit, or should I plant them in the ground if they have a chance to not die back regularly from cold .
Thanks !
